Here is the recipe that I am going to use.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef chuck, trimmed of excess fat and cut into thin slices (about 1/2 inch thick and 3 inches long)
- 1 large onion, chopped (about 2 cups)
- 1 pound white mushrooms, trimmed and halved (or quartered, if large)
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- Cooked thin egg noodles, for serving
- Chopped fresh dill, for garnish (optional)
Directions
- In a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, toss beef, onion, and mushrooms with 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt and teaspoon pepper. Cover, and cook on low until meat is tender, about 8 hours (or on high for 6 hours).
- In a 2-cup glass measuring cup, whisk cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water. Ladle 1 cup cooking liquid into measuring cup; whisk to combine. Pour into a small saucepan, and bring to a boil; cook until thickened, about 1 minute. With slow cooker turned off, stir in cornstarch mixture, then sour cream and mustard. Serve beef over noodles; sprinkle with dill, if desired.
As you know I already made the roast last night. So I am just going to make the sauce, add more mushrooms and cook the egg noodles. I hope this goes well.
Later: I forgot that I needed beef broth for this recipe so I had to thaw out some of the beef broth cubes that I made. They were supper easy to thaw out in a saucepan. In a seperate pan, I suated more mushrooms and heated up the left over roast. Then after I added the broth with the cornstarch to thicken it, I shut off the heat and added the sour cream and Dijon mustard. When I started making it, I was really nervous. I had no idea if Graham would like it or not. And guess what? HE DID!!! He said it had a lot more flavor than the beef stroganoff that I had made before and it had a better texture too. He could actually pick out the mustard and said it was very good. I was going to include a picture of it but I forgot to take one. It didn't really look very appealing in the pan because you couldn't see the texture. But I don't care because Graham Cracker liked it! He even just said that I could make it again! Bazinga!!!
